sons arrested on suspicion, has confessed
that he alone was guilty. He had
planned the murder for some time, and
was prompted to it by cupidity excited
by Codman's boastful exhibition on differ
ent occasions of considerable sums of
money. Goldman was killed at his stable
about . o'clock Monday morning. Dur
ing the following day Nowlin went to his
lodgings. and representing that he had
been sent by Goldman, gained en- trance to
mis- room and secured $275 in money and
some valuables.
CUTTING UP THE BODY.
That afternoon he cut the body up with
an ak for convenience of handling, loaded
the fragments into his sleigh and drove
oil toward Lexington. While thinking
over the deed as he drove along he be-
came panic stricken with fear, and threw
pieces over the walls and into the bushes
in secluded spots, and hurried away to
Boston by another route from that which
he had come. The police found IN Cod
mans stable ample evidence that Now
lin's story was true. Nowlin IS hand

REVENUE Legislation.
An Unimportant Conference at Ran.
dalTs Residence.

All u OnlmDOrCanC conference at Han-
dalPs Residence.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ga meeting was
held tonight at the house of samuel j.
Randall to discuss the question as to
whether revenue matters are to be taken
up in the House this session. Not more
than nine or ten Representatives were
present. A general talk took place on
the su bject OF the tariff, but nothing was
agreed upon further than that they were
in favor Of a bill on the line OF that intro
duced by Mr.. Randall last session to
repeal the tobacco tax, the tax on
alcohol used IN the arts, and certain
special liquor license taxes and adding
certain articles to the free list. No con-
clusion was reached as to when an at
tempt should be made TO secure consider
alton for such bill, nor indeed whether
an attempt should be made at all. Those
present were very reticent as TO who at
tended the meeting, but it can be stated
that no members were present from Viz
ginia or North Carolina-the States gen.
orally spoken of as most interested in
total or partial abolition of the internal
revenue taxes.
THE OUTCOME.
1t was resolved that either Mr.. Randall
or one of his lieutenants should move
within a few days TO 90 into committee OF
the whole to consider revenue bills with a
view TO setting aside MIR. Morrlson's bill
and all other revenue bills until Mr.. RAN
daiPs apple jack tariff bill is reached,
when 1t is to be amended 80 as to repeal
the tobacco tax and the taxes on distilled
spirits used in the arts and fruit brandles
and to provide at the same time for a short
free list, upon which lumber Will he the
only important item.
POORLY REPAID.
This is the result OF all the efforts Mr..
Randall has been making to devise some
plan for setting himself and his Demo-
cratic followers right before the country.
Mr.. RandalPs hope is that the bill ne
has determined upon will catch
votes from both sIdes-that the Repubn-
cans will support it on account of the
internal revenue reductions. and some OF
the Democrats ON account of both
the internals revenue and the
tariff reductions. But to-nights meeting
was rendered a failure by the fact that
the lieutenants were not able to report
tue majority which Mr.. Randall deslres.
Another meeting is 10 be held, at which
Mr.. Randall hopes 10 receive assurances
of a majority. Meanwhile his present
plans may be recast. I1e is counting on
go Democrats ana 10 Republicans.
